NFL Odds: Latest Football Betting Lines for Week 1

NFL Odds for Week 1

The 2025 NFL season kicks off on Sept. 4 with Cowboys at Eagles on Thursday Night Football. The Eagles are around a TD favorite, coming in at -6.5 at FanDuel, while others have them at -7. That’s a pretty important distinction.

On the following night the Chiefs and Chargers play in Brazil, where the Chiefs are a 2.5-point favorite.

Sunday of Week 1 features some big-time matchups, including a NFC North clash between the Lions and Packers in Green Bay, where the line varies by sportsbook. While the opening lines had the Lions -1.5, Caesars currently has the Lions at +2.

Ravens at Bills on Sunday Night Football is a huge AFC game, and the Bills are 1.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks, but -1 at Caesars.

Which Sportsbooks Have the Best NFL Betting Odds

This page allows you to see which sportsbook is offering you the best NFL betting odds each week, and for each game.

But each betting app has its own reputation when it comes to NFL odds, and this breakdown below will give you a good idea on where to start.

How to Bet on NFL Odds

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to bet on NFL lines. I’m going to use the Lions vs. Packers game as an example, and assume that I have done my research on the game already.

1. Start by downloading the best NFL betting apps. I highly recommend having multiple apps on your phone.
2. Make sure your account has money or bonus bets available to bet. It’s best to have a set amount you bet on games, props and parlays, to best manage your bankroll.
3. Check each app for the best odds. In this scenario, I like the Lions by as many as 3 points, so I will be searching for Lions -2.5 with the friendliest odds.
4. Once you find it, tap the selection in your app.
5. In your bet slip, put in the amount you want to bet on the game.
6. Confirm your choice.

There it is, your bet is placed. Monitor throughout the game to see if there are cash out options available, or if a live betting line will pop up that allows you to either hedge your bet or double down on it.

Finding the Best NFL Odds: Why Line Shopping Matters

Shopping around to find the best odds is one of the easiest ways to maximize your profits this NFL season. Of course, you’ll need to have accounts set up at a couple different sportsbooks to take advantage of any differences in the lines offered.

As you see at the top of this page, not every online sportsbook has the same odds on a given game, so give yourself the best chance at winning by finding the odds that are most favorable to you. But it’s not just spreads and moneylines that you should shop for.

For example, one site may have Patrick Mahomes listed at +600 to win MVP, while another has him at +650. That’s a $50 difference in your winnings if you’re betting $100 on the outcome.

Differences are smaller but equally important on player props, where Saquon Barkley‘s rushing yards prop against the Cowboys could be set at 95.5 on FanDuel but 98.5 on DraftKings. Anyone who has ever placed a bet, or played Fantasy Football, knows how big those three yards could be.

Check out our list of the best NFL betting apps if you’re looking for apps and online sportsbooks that consistently offer excellent odds, are easy to use, and offer lucrative sign up bonuses and odds boosts on NFL games.

How to Read NFL Odds

If this is your first time jumping into sports betting, you may be wondering how to read the NFL moneyline, point spread, and over/under odds found on this page.

This article provides a full run-down of how to read odds and how oddsmakers formulate them, but here are the basics for each betting option:

NFL Moneyline Odds

Betting the moneyline is the simplest NFL bet you can make. You’re simply picking one team to win the game outright. Select “moneyline” in the feed preferences above to see this week’s NFL moneyline odds.

The positive number in moneyline betting is the odds for the underdog. This is the amount you stand to profit if you place a $100 bet on the underdog.

The negative number is the odds for the favorite. This is the amount you’ll need to risk in order to return a $100 profit backing the favorite.

While unusual, there are football games where both teams will have negative moneyline odds. In this case, the side with the larger negative number is the favorite.

NFL Point Spread Odds

Many NFL matchups aren’t exactly unpredictable. When one side is heavily favored, the point spread keeps things interesting. By “taking” points from the favorite and “giving” them to the underdog, the NFL point spread makes it possible to back either side, even in a very lopsided matchup. Select “spread” to see the odds for this week’s NFL spreads.

The amount of points given from the favorite and taken by the underdog is the spread – you’ll see this number displayed next to a (+) for the underdog (since they are getting extra points) and a (-) for the favorite (since points are being subtracted.

To cover the spread, the favorite must win the game by the margin of the point spread. The underdog covers anytime they win the game outright or lose by less than the margin outlined by the spread.

Next to the point spread, you’ll find odds like those you’d see on the moneyline. These will generally be in the range of -105 to -115 for most NFL point spreads, indicating the amount you need to risk to win $100. In NFL spread betting, you often won’t see the odds attached to the line get any longer than +100.

NFL Over/Under (Totals) Odds

Betting totals is another popular way to wager on NFL games. Commonly known as the over/under, totals betting asks you to wager on whether the final score with be over or under the total set by the oddsmakers.

Compare NFL over/under odds by selecting “total” in preferences. You’ll see a large number with both (o) & (u) – this is the total. Bet on the final score to be over or under this number.

Like the point spread, you’ll see odds associated with taking the over or under. With some exceptions, expect to see these odds in the range of -105 to -115 when betting NFL over/under lines.

NFL Football Betting Promotions

Taking advantage of the best NFL betting promotions is an important part of being a successful sports bettor. Line shopping goes a long way when you get the most favorable NFL odds, and getting a top-notch promo to boot is a huge boost as well.

You’ll find some lucrative NFL betting promos at all the best sportsbooks, and we’ve compiled a list of the betting sites with the top bonuses for all the action on the gridiron. Use the links below to learn more about the sportsbooks with our favorite NFL betting promotions:

NFL Line Movement

Sports Betting Dime’s matchup pages also displayed detailed NFL odds history and line movement for the moneyline, point spread and total for each game, showing you how the odds have shifted from opening lines all the way to kick off.

Simply select “full game stats” to see the odds history and line movement for this week’s NFL odds.

Line movement is a crucial piece of NFL betting for several reasons. It’s typically not the public that forces a line move, as it’s more often the result of big money coming in from respected bettors. A line movement could also give you insight into how serious experts believe an injury to be.
